Archive for Water Purification

In this week’s installment of the 7 P’s of Survival show we will be talking all things water. Of course we will have the normal blog updates, let you know what is coming soon and the weekly survival challenge but 90% of the show we hope to dedicate to the evaluation of water sources and purification methods.

This week we will be talking all about water, more specifically ways to obtain water and ways to make it suitable water for human consumption. Read More→

Water, storage, and all you need to know!

There is no more serious concern than water in survival and preparedness. You can improvise a lot of things, but it’s tough to improvise water. You either have it or you don’t have it. There are a lot of nifty tricks for finding water, but if you’re hunting down water, you’ve made some mistakes somewhere along the line. Let’s look at how you can make water part of your plans for bugging in and for bugging out.

Last week we briefly discussed the article about Texas exploring abanding oil fields and drilling holes for fresh or brackish water. In that article there was talk of a proposed desalination plant. This is the reality of water levels in Texas.

When I opened the New York Times today I was absolutely astonished to see plans for a new desalination plant in China.
“BEIJING — A coastal desalination plant planned for east of Beijing could provide a large portion of the drinking water for the parched Chinese capital by 2019, the state news media quoted officials as saying on Tuesday. The reports indicated that the government and state enterprises were investing heavily in desalination projects to alleviate a dire water shortage in northern China.” Read More→

To be honest I am a little burnt out by these ominous, Nostradamus, articles about the collapse will happen in two months, 10 months, 10 minutes. I have been put off a bit by certain prepper websites by the amount of this “shock” language. I need to take a step back and just enjoy prepping for what it is not the why so much and definitely not the what if.

That being said we are going to talk about how practical preparedness is and how necessary it is without the use of TEOTWAWKI. I think this winter has made a lot people, especially those below the Mason Dixon line look at things a little differently. There are core items every family should have access to and, this is very important, the more dependent you are on outside services them ore of these core items you should have. For instance all your food comes from the grocery store than you better have a comfortable amount of food storage at home if extreme weather makes travel impossible. Read More→

It’s all about water. Let’s be honest many of us don’t put as much time into our water preparedness as we should. Tonight on I Am Liberty we will have Mike Wofsey on the show to talk all about just that. A very impressive man he will bring incredible scientific insight into our quest for clean water.

Mike has held senior positions with McGraw Hill and Unidigital,a founded Scientific Illustration Services, a manufacturer of high precision measuring and color calibration tools. He received his bachelors and masters degrees in physics from City University of New York, and his Ph.D. in physics from The University of Alabama. He continues research in solar desalination and ion polarization. Mike has written for Physical Review Focus, The Wall Street Journal and Australian Provincial Newspapers. Read More→

Water, water everywhere and nary a drop to drink! Yup, you guessed it, this week on The Prepared Canadian we take a look at water treatment. As a compliment to my presentation at the Ontario provincial prepper meetup in Huntsville this weekend, I thought I would give those who can’t be there a chance to hear about water treatment. Possible contaminants are as easy as A B C D, and we’ll look at what treatment method works for each kind of contaminant, including radiological.
To top it all off, I have yet another fresh editorial this week, so don’t miss out!Listen to this show in player below!

Water is the most precious resource on planet earth. Without it, Life cannot survive. While it is also the most abundant resource on earth, unfortunately, millions of people in the world do not have access to clean drinking water. So how can WaterStep help people to find water independence? Listen to today’s episode of Galt Strike as Tom talks with Kurtis Daniels from WaterStep.org and discusses the many products and programs that they have available to finding, procuring, and purifying water for people around the world.

From the Philippines Tom founder of American Preppers Network, the State prepper networks and many others will have Paul of Sun Oven live, on air as his guest this Thursday 4/11/2013.

As you may know, Tom, the host of GaltStrike has been in the Philippines for the past two weeks where he plans to marry on the 16 of April. (Congratulations Tom) While there he has been sharing self-reliance and independence to a small village on one of the many remote Philippine islands. Among the many items he took with him to share with the native people there were several Sun Ovens, Clothes washers, and Waterstep Water Filters.

Listen in as Tom, Paul and Catman talk about the culture of these people and the response to the tools Tom took to the Philippines that Preppers are so familiar with. Learn some things these islanders do as habit we strive to learn as preppers. Ask questions of Tom or his guests, be sure to listen in on this show and join us in the interactive chat room 4/11/2013 at 7pm/Eastern 6pm/Central.

There will be two or three more shows where Tom will be broadcasting from this small community before returning to the States. Be sure to listen in on this show, and catch next week’s show for updates and more from Tom and Catman on GaltStrike.

Galtstrike from the Philippines! Tom, founder of American Preppers Network comes to us live from the Philippines where he is sharing self-reliance and Independence. Taking with him a Sun Oven, water purifier, and a few other items to a remote village in the Philippines, Tom Martin shows the native residence alternative ways of cooking, heating and much more. Join us for what is sure to be an interesting show when two cultures come together in prepping.

Inspired by Ayn Rand’s book Atlas Shrugged and the Character John Galt. Our goal is to teach and share every possible “Legal” method of reducing and eliminating our tax footprints thereby starving the banker oligarchies of the world.

Mission: To share every idea possible to cut our production, expenses, and taxes to starve the banker oligarchy.

Description: We will accomplish our goals by learning how to reduce our labor and expenses within the “looters and moochers” economy, and redirecting our efforts more towards our own “personal” economies (our own Galt’s Gultch).

Tom of “American Preppers Network” talks about his upcoming trip to the Philippines where he will be demonstrating off grid and sustainable living. Some of the projects will include water filtration and water purification using a chlorine generator, vertical gardening, cooking with a Sun Oven and washing clothes by hand using the Breathing Mobile Washer. What can we learn about third world living conditions and what can it teach us about sustainable living and reducing our tax foot print. Join us for all this and more on GaltStrike!
